    REMA Property Analyzer vs. REIN ACRE system

    Hi Curt, I completly agree that ACRE is essential. I believe it is the foundation for successful real estate investing. Without the foundation, you have nothing to build upon. Have you read Don Campbell`s book "Real Estate Investing In Canada 2.0"?

    Would Christmas change your plans to evict a non-paying tenant?

    I can say with certainty – no! We had a new tenant who moved into one of our duplexes in October and didn’t have his December rent on the 1st.

    Should I rent to this tenant?

    The fact that they have had 4 addresses in the last year isn`t a good data point, on top of their credit history. The real question is "Are you going to be able to evict a family if you need to?" Here is my own experience…… My PM and I served a family of 7 (5 kids including a 3 month old…)...

    Investment (Personal vs. LLC)

    Hi, The general consensus on to incorporate or not is `it depends on your situation`......Not sure if you are a REIN member or not, but Navaz Murji just did an excellent presentation on this topic in October and it was to be continued in November. Make sure you listen to the CD`s if you...
